Microsoft announced a few months ago that they definitly stop all OS/2
activities and will fully concentrate on MS/Windows.
This does't promis much future for OS/2, since IBM will have to do all
developments itself now, and we all know where that leads too... 
Several manufacturers have at least delayed their activities in this field
since then.
I gather that NCR switched its policy accordingly.
